The Wire Haired
and Smooth Haired Pinschers, as the Standard Schnauzer and
German Pinscher were originally called, were shown in dog books
as early as 1884. These medium-sized dogs descended from early
European herding and guardian breeds and were not related to the
superficially similar terriers of
Great Britain."

The German Pinscher

The German Pinscher is the
medium sized Pinscher. This agile, alert dog makes a
wonderful companion when properly socialized. The German
Pinscher is a generally health dog who will live a long life.
Extremely intelligent, the German Pinscher has the capacity to
learn new tasks very quickly, though their independent nature
may cause the appearance of otherwise. The German Pinscher
is a proud dog with an amazing sense of humor. A German
Pinscher should never be mean to people and aggression towards
other dogs should be frowned upon. German Pinschers are
able to live happily with other breeds, contrary to reports from
some people. German Pinschers are also able to live
happily with children, even though some say otherwise. It
is very important for the German Pinscher to love and respect
its owner in order for this to happen. While it is true
that a German Pinscher is not for everyone, no breed is.
If you are interested in sharing your life with an energetic,
loving, intelligent, stately and medium-sized dog, a German
Pinscher may be what you're looking for.
